to obedience, and the thing itself could do no more.
Necessity, the mother of invention, has amongst other inventions been the mother of
all law. Necessity which in this case is no other

or one large or small, of the community, a disposition to exercise to call for
obedience, power on the other part of others, to bestow it. to submit to it
If antecedently to the existence of all law, there the
were powers principles implanted in human nature sufficient to produce
the dis requisite disposition of to obedience, much easier
must be their task under the reign of established
laws amongst in a community in which that salutary disposition
is imbibed by every human creature with its
mother's milk, under the reign of old-established law,
in the case of a any [local or occasional solar vacuum,
within the sphere of it.] any solution of continuity in the body of the
